Plagiarized Videogame reviews?

I was looking up old reviews to see if Medal of Honor: Frontline for Gamecube was a good buy at 20 bucks.

Went to gamerankings.com to read a bunch of them at once, and came across this one from a site called Gamecube Advanced (which seems like a decent site):

http://www.ultimategamez.com/reviews/moh.shtml

This is by a guy named Patrick Potier. Then I came across this review at IGN, by (I think) Kaiser Hwang and Matt Casamassina:

http://cube.ign.com/articles/377/377161p2.html

Now, I have no idea... maybe the sites are affiliated, or someone's going by a different name, but the reviews are very, very similar. Is it just me? Kinda makes me wonder if people actually play the games when they review them...

This happens quite a bit with the smaller sites. People think they can get away with it. I would report it to the Webmaster dude at both sites.
